It's Summer Time and the Sports Are Easy!

It's time to help the Bushwhackia Pee-Wee league coaches! They need supplies to help whip their various teams into shape and take home the AAA championship trophies! Whack them up in the bushes, starting with soccer balls and water bottles! Plus, the first coach needs some Jerseys!

Claire, the clerk from the Town Hall, needs your help to discover information about a local sports Legend! The stages of this quest will unlock throughout the event. If you completed this quest last year, different quests will replace the original ones, sending you out in the world to find more sporting memorabilia.

It's not just about supplies to keep the kids going: the parents and coaches have quests for you to embark on as well! Look for those interspersed with Claire's quest!

The season of high school graduation is almost upon us (well, in some parts of the world it is already happening!) As students graduate their minds fill with questions about their future: What should they do now? Can they get a job that they love? Should they continue their studies? These are important questions.

We know that many students really enjoy video games. In fact, they could be considered experts at playing video games and this expertise can be the start of a career in the video game industry. Obviously, students will need more than the ability to play video games, but the passion for playing games is very common in the video game industry.

We want to help students to get the skills to work in the video game industry. To this end, we have been working with high schools to provide student work experience opportunities for the past year. We are now working with the video game industry in Victoria to set up scholarships to the University of Victoria (Computer Science) and Camosun College (Graphic Arts). The scholarships help inspired students start their journey towards a career in the video game industry.

To that end, we have a special quest for you to do!

Talk to Misha in the Commons and help them get ready for University! For every player who completes Misha's quest-line before Friday at noon, we'll increase our contribution to the scholarships!

If you want to help out more, you can buy the adorable Grad Kitten for only $5! Its has an increased chance to find puzzle pieces bonus!

We're having a sale! This weekend, get 30% MORE Bush Bucks on purchases of 50 Bush Bucks or higher!

To make it even sweeter, if you purchase 500 Bush Bucks in one purchase on participating game sites*, you get a signed Bush Whacker 2 poster free! That's right, we'll mail you the above poster with signatures from the whole Codename Entertainment team**! Limit 1 per character!

The sale runs until Monday May 25th at Noon PDT!

* In order to run this promotion, we contacted the sites our games run on and only received permission from select ones.

** In order to mail you this poster we will need you to provide a valid address. A form for submitting your address will appear above the game on your first refresh after a valid purchase.

We're having a sale! It's an all-new unique Elephant mount! It comes with a starting bonus of +5% Odds to Double Mana wins!

But it's not just any type of mount. It's one that made a player very happy! Because Danni loves elephants so much, she'd asked daily for one as a mount option. When we told her it was finally available for purchase, she exuberantly expressed her thanks in the chat for over 10 minutes. And not just because of the mount, but because the Elephant pets were available for Bush Bucks from the Danni character -based on her in-game avatar- in the Commons.

The Bush Bucks items from Danni and the Elephant will be on sale until tomorrow, Friday, May 22 @ Noon PDT.

We appreciate their willingness to join and their passion and knowledge of Bush Whacker 2.

We want to see YOUR talented, artistic skills at gardening/art. It's super easy to get started, just start growing plants. When you've got enough, you can begin to lay out your designs in the event area. Once you've managed to get at least a D from each of the judges, you're golden for entering the contest!

How the Contest Works

When you're ready, talk to the photographer (he's got a yellow ! above his head) and have him take a picture of your fantasy garden. You can submit as many times as you would like, but only your most recent submission will get the votes. Each time you do submit a screenshot, your votes will reset, so plan carefully! Submissions will be accepted until *Friday, May 15th, 2015, - Noon PDT.*

You Get to Vote!

YOU get to vote too! The coveted 'User's Choice' award is picked by the Bush Whacker Community, and has a prize of 50 Bush Bucks! You can vote for as many submissions as you like, and at the end of the event the top submission as voted by YOU the players will be awarded the prize.

Changes from Last Year:

Asking to visit the contest or the voting page no longer takes you outside the game; it simply loads the contest/voting page over top it! Finished voting? You can easily return to the event area by clicking "Back to Game" at the bottom of the screen. Easy as pie!

Can't decide between two layouts? That’s ok! You now have a way to say "Next Please," and two new images will be loaded up for you!

Tired of seeing the same layouts previously? We've improved the system, you should see the same layouts repeated far more infrequently now.

You can vote until *Monday, May 18, 2015 @ Noon PDT.*

And the CNE winners are...

At the end of the event, the entire Codename Entertainment Studio will review the submissions and choose their favourites, with 3 lucky players per platform being awarded prizes of 250, 200, and 150 Bush Bucks for first, second and third. All winners will be published in the blog when we've made our decision.
